Chapter 461: The Beginning
"Lao Lin, how much is it missing?"
Looking up at the dark sky and the lead-gray dark clouds in the sky that had re-rolled up at some point, Cheng Tsuna's heart became a little more anxious.
It has been a full five days since I went out to the hinterland of Dabie Mountain Demonic Beast to level up this time. The first two or three days were fine, and although the demonic beasts encountered had a much stronger desire to attack, they were still within an acceptable range. But in the last day or two, especially since last night, he began to feel that something was wrong.
What is wrong with him, let him describe it in words, and Cheng Gang can't say for a while.
But I can feel that the demonic beasts distributed in the depths of the Dabie Mountains are becoming more and more restless and restless, and it seems that they are only one introduction away from setting off a huge wave that shakes the mountains and forests.
What this huge wave was, Cheng Tsuna, when he was in the steel camp in Saddle City before, was not too clear. But after joining the Guild of the Savior, I've heard about it many times in the last month or two.
That'sβthe beast tide!
At this moment, listening to the terrible cries in the distance, Cheng Gang had a premonition that this beast tide in the last two years of the world was only very close to them.
The one he called Lao Lin was the captain Lin in the steel camp at the beginning. He also felt a little strange, was asked by Cheng Gang, immediately opened the system and glanced at it, and said with a little joy: "It's less than a thousand points of experience!" β
"Good!"
Cheng Gang's face also showed a little joy.
He himself had already been level 15 a month ago, and this time he came out with a few old subordinates from the steel camp, wanting to help them sharpen their guns and rush to level 15 before the beast tide descended. Now it seems that Liu Ge and the two of them should be hopeless, a little bit worse, but Lao Lin is right.
He immediately urged: "Hurry up, find a few more demonic beasts, and let's return to the guild immediately after leveling up!" Before the beast tide comes, I won't go out anyway. β
"Actually, there's no need to be in such a hurry......"
Liu Ge commanded the war eagles to swim around, and said indifferently: "A few are just a few, and when the beast tide rushes to our guild, don't you still upgrade?" What's the difference between earlier and late? β
Of course, having said that, if Liu Ge was only 1,000 points short of experience, he would also choose to level up immediately.
After all, as a professional, no one can withstand the temptation of improving strength, let alone an important level like level 15. What's more, the earlier you level up, the sooner you can familiarize yourself with the skills and design a set of combos that suit you.
"Yes, one hundred and fifty meters to the west!"
Liu Ge suddenly discovered something and led the team to rush over there.
This is a grove of parasitic wood essences inhabiting a small forest, and it is difficult to tell the exact number from the outside, but according to the experience of several people, at least six or seven activated parasitic wood essences can be found.
This LV15 plant-based demonic beast is quite difficult to deal with, but it is also very experienced, and it is the most ideal target for several people.
"Don't rush to attract too much, kill one by one!"
Cheng Gang gave the order steadily, and then the team began to act according to their advanced division of labor.
Parasitic Wood Spirits are characterized by high defense and self-healing abilities, and their weaknesses are slow movement speed and fear of fire, which is basically the common trait of most plant-based monsters.
Fortunately, there is an elemental mage in Chenggang's team who has taken fire skills, and with a second-order rare staff, the output is quite good.
It took more than a minute for them to successfully eliminate this wood spirit with tacit understanding.
The next step is to repeat the old trick.
Although there was a slight mistake during the period, which alarmed the two parasitic wood spirits at the same time, fortunately, no other magical beasts were encountered nearby during this period. Ranger Liu Ge took a little effort, so he lured away the wood spirit that was attracted more, took it around the neighborhood a few times, and then brought it back to destroy them one by one.
When the first snowflakes fell from the sky, the last activated parasitic wood spirit in the grove fell, along with a piece of second-order fine equipment.
With other teammates sharing experience, Lao Lin finally used this parasitic wood spirit to make up 1,000 experience points, and golden light rose into the sky.
"Congratulations!"
Cheng Gang and Liu Ge all sent their blessings, and Lao Lin himself was also happy. While assigning the freedom attribute, he picked up the drop on the ground - it turned out to be a treasure with maximum health and physical damage reduction.
"Not bad, not bad!"
Several people were about to discuss how to distribute this exquisite treasure, when in the distant forest, the roar of the demonic beast suddenly became dense. Then, there was a faint tremor on the ground. Some of the withered trees next to it even began to flutter the snow and dead branches and leaves of the previous heavy snowfall.
"What's wrong?"
Cheng Gang's face changed slightly, and he looked at Liu Ge.
The latter immediately cut his vision to the reconnaissance eagle, controlled it to rise in height, and flew in the direction from which the sound came.
Just over ten seconds later, with the help of the high-altitude vision provided by the war eagle, Liu Ge's expression changed drastically as if he had seen a terrifying ghost.
A few kilometers away, behind the mountain, a large number of demonic beasts had gathered at some point, including manic lizards, ugly trolls, terrifying violent bears, and even granite puppet giants like hills...... There were hundreds of them in total, and they rushed towards this direction unstoppably.
His throat shuddered, he swallowed, and cried out in horror, "No, it's not good...... Beast tide! Run, everyone! β
"Run!"
Although he hadn't seen the shocking scene with his own eyes, Chenggang's reaction was very decisive. As soon as Liu Ge's words fell, he immediately made a decision.
A group of bronze professionals, running at full speed is still very amazing. But in the mountains and forests, the speed of the demonic beasts seems to be faster. After a few hours, until they were about to break out of the periphery of the Dabie Mountain Demon Beast Belt, they couldn't shake off the distance from the beast tide. Even, during the period, he almost encountered other small groups of Warcraft gathering.
If it weren't for the guidance of Liu Ge's reconnaissance eagle along the way, they might have plunged headlong into the encirclement of the rioting demonic beasts.
It can be seen that a larger-scale beast tide is already brewing, and it will soon take shape.
In addition to their heavy hearts, Cheng Gang was not as worried about their own safety as before. Although the bodies of the professionals have begun to be overwhelmed by the wild running so far, if they run to the periphery, they are about to enter the limit of the use of the Returning City Scroll.
At that point, it's safe and secure!
As for the other factor, it was the bipedal flying dragon hovering in the air, monitoring the situation of the entire Dabie Mountain Demonic Beast Belt Beast Tide.
Although they looked like they were alone, and they had to watch out for the attacks of flying monsters from time to time, the surprise of this bipedal wyvern and the professional on their backs gave Cheng Gang and them a feeling that they were still nearby.
Soon after, the passing Wyvern seemed to have spotted them, and even took the initiative to lower its altitude and flew over, asking if they needed help - the two professionals on board were also carrying a large number of return-to-city scrolls in their backpacks while they were commissioned by the guild to investigate the situation. In order to provide it to members who have not had time to return from the threat of the beast tide if necessary.
"Thanks, buddy!"
Although this kind of life-threatening props must be checked and inspected before departure, the care from the guild still makes Cheng Gang and Lao Lin feel great warmth.
"Well, have a good trip! Go back to the guild territory early, the beast tide has rioted, and it's very dangerous outside! β
The passengers on the Wyvern gave them a warm shout and pulled up the height and flew away - it was not yet time for them to evacuate!
Seeing the two kind-hearted members leave, Cheng Gang felt a little more proud in his heart, waved his hand to his subordinate members, and said, "Let's go, let's go home!" β
Yes, go home!
